Linkidea Silicone Seal Replacement (10pc)

This is the cheapest gasket that I could find to replace the old one that my Thermos large food jar lid had. I'm always weary from something sold by the tens as I tend to think that they might be bad quality. However, this is not the case. 

 

The gasket looks way smaller than my large  jar seal so, on sight, I thought I would have to return the packet. However, the gasket fits my jar lid perfectly. Perhaps because I have small hands, I found it difficult to position it inside as it requires of some strength to stretch the gasket to then let it fall inside. The gasket stays tightly in without getting out despite the fact that I wash the jar and lid every day. This gasket is designed to match the Thermos Stainless King Food Jar, which is slightly different from my old food jar model, yet it fits it greatly. Great price, but I wish this sort of spare part was sold by the unit or the pair because, unless you have a large family, this packet has more gaskets than I need and it's a waste of product.

Nailgirls Hair Cutting Scissors Shears (6.7in)

This scissors are great value for money. They aren't professional scissors but I couldn't expect that for the price. They are still very good. I sometimes trim my hair ends on my own, and the household scissors I was using were not really good. Instead, this pair cuts my hair straight, cleanly and easily, with minimum effort, in a go. These scissors tips aren't too pointy, but the blades are sharp and do the job. I have small hands and found this pair comfortable to use; not too big, not too small. The complementary comb comes really handy.

Rust-Oleum 2X Ultra Cover Satin Spray, Granite, 340 g

I used this can to (kinda) restore one of those old garden metal tables that had the paint coat peeled after being outdoors for too long. I removed the coat of paint left, which was already flaky, and then hand-sanded the surface. After which I applied two coats of this spray paint. It looks pretty good, although I need a third coat for the inner lattice creases to be properly covered. Sure, the results would have been better if I had used proper outdoor paint or an epoxy paint, or if the table surface was completely smooth and not grainy as it was. But, honestly, this spray is just brilliant to have things done quickly and effectively even if you, like me, aren't patient with DIY. Most importantly, my garden table looks great again.
 
The paint dried quickly outdoors, but I used it in two sunny warm days. Application is super-easy due to the nozzle having a good steady spray flow without having to press too strongly. I still have plenty of paint left in the can after the two first coats, which is great. The paint colour is true to the can's cap colour.
 
I like the satin finish but I think I prefer matte finish for outdoor furniture and garden stuff.
 
Overall, I had a great experience with this brand and spray paint, and I'll definitely buy this product again.

Important -- Shake the can vigorously before use. Also, you should use a respirator mask because, otherwise, you'll be inhaling the paint toxic fumes.
